Legal Question in Family Law in California
received a call from an attorney's office stating husband is filing a domestic abuse restraining order, and hearing was at 1:30 today. I went, nothing was on the docket. Received another call this evening from an attorney's office that since I didn't appear, it's scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:30am. They would not provide any additional information. Is this legal? Do I go? am I supposed to receive written notice? What are my rights and responsibilities. I have an appointment with an attorney on Tuesday, but need to know what to do NOW.

You don't provide a zip code. The procedures on this situation are county-specific. No way to help without location.
You need to be familiar with the local court rules on how they are handling ex partes as well as to know what department you are assigned to. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney in your jurisdiction.
